Not watched it for ages as the storylines were so pathetic but after people had said it was the most realistic soap on I gave it a go today..... It's an even bigger load of old tosh than I remember.... Utter drivel.
I don't usually watch Doctors but caught it by chance today and was wondering if anyone knows the name of the tune that was played throughout the programme (usually when showing a flashback to the previous evening.) It's a tune I've heard loads of times before but have never know what it's called. Can anyone help please?

I have missed about 4 weeks, I deleted two weeks as I couldn't be bothered to sit through 5 hours of it, I still have two weeks to watch. I have found it hard work to watch at the moment, Freya and Mandy has really bored me (Freya worked better on her own I think), Princess Bubblegum need I say more..., I liked the Heston and Marina storyline but the stuff with Jack and Immy and that house was tiresome:yawn:

If it's the peice on the xylophone, it's called Gassenhauer by Carl Orff.
I used to recommend Doctors to my friends all the time. But I'm kind of reticent about doing this nowadays. It's either too silly or too militant about homosexuality. Where have the excellent stories like Vivien's rape, Mrs Tembe's persecution, Lauren's murder, Heston's domestic absue and Zara and Daniel's IVF struggles gone?

Have they had a change of writers or directors recently?

Even parts of Lauren's murder were silly - I still don't understand how Jack got involved in all that investigation stuff. Sadly I missed Mrs Tembe's racism thing, I reckon that would have been pulled off quite well.
Today's episode was alright I thought. Took me a few minutes to work out whether or not it was another reinactment or if they where hypnotised.
I can't believe Rob wasn't over the moon about Daniel "wanting" Karen!
I think they could have done even more funnier and unrealistic pairings of "fantasy love" like Zara coming onto Heston or they could have avoided Barry's humiliation the other day and made his day for today only with Julia.
Btw, Barry BIGGELOW?!!!! As In Deuce Biggelow?
Maybe we should call him Deuce now!
So so sure of herself Immie did get to go with Heston? No pun intended. He probably should have given the tickets to both Cherry and Mrs Tembe for the support they have given him over the last year and not gone himself.
What was it with Freya and Mandy then? Pretending all along?
I think Kevin is going down quite well as a comedy character. Hed reminds me of Billy Mitchell from EE. At this rate, Kevin should be nominated for the comedy awards and I think Doctors has tought everyone a good lesson in never to mess around with handcuffs!
Thanks, but sounds like the person doing the subtitles got it wrong. That kind of spelling would surely be pronounced like Aleeshia rather than Elisia.
I thought Thursdays episode was pants too. I'l be glad when this Shakespeare week and its reinactments are over.
Whats going on with all these gay relationship stories all of a sudden? Its a bit overkill isn't it? No pun intended with regard to todays episode.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Beeb are pressurised generally by pressure groups to do more on stories involving gay/lesbian people/characters but the last few weeks on Doctors its been like some sort of promotional thing going on I think and i don't think TV should be about that with any kind of relationships/sexuality really.
When it comes to ethnic minority characters, I get the feeling that TV in general has them in minority numbers as that reflects their numbers in the country and isn't it time for some polls/stats to be done on people's sexuality and that way it can be worked out better how well society/life in general is being reflected in TV programmes?
I have never seen any stats or polls revealing the numbers on people's sexuality, maybe they think its too private or something but there are polls done in other sexual related issues so why not on people's actual sexuality too?

Yes, the Vivien rape scenes in court were excellent. The actress deserved an award for that.
Just watched yesterday's episode. What utter tripe. See I'm in good company with these thoughts. This is not the quality of Doctors of episodes that got me hooked in the first place.
Thursday's ep did nothing for me. I loved Friday's - but then Midsummer Night's Dream is my favourite Shakespeare play. Good on them for doing something different I say. (Although the best soap moment of this week was Corrie's Bohemian Rhapsody !)
Oh an thanks to whoever it was who reminded me of the appalling Four Marys in those old girl's comics !

Just watched it on the iplayer, what an embarrassment of an episode...
I've got Thursday and Friday's episodes to watch - I was looking forward to seeing yesterday's ep with all the Daniel/Karen stuff etc but maybe it's not great??

Not mine. We went to Stratford with the school in about 1970. We were so bored by half time that a few of us went to the pub. One of the girls must have looked about 18 so we could get served. We were all a bit drunk on the way back and had to visit the headmaster for a caning the following day!

It's purely subjective. Just because some of us didn't enjoy it doesn't mean you can't

That's it - brilliant! Thank you SO much. I've wanted to know what it is for years!

Not in a good way.
I like Doctors when it does wacky episodes, the Bond one was brilliant. This one just failed however I hope they continue to do these once in a while.
Thanks.

Some gays are very passive.
